Axactor (Hold, TP: NOK4.30) - Investing through the trough
Despite a still-challenging collection environment, Q2 cash EBITDA was EUR61m, up 3% YOY as cost-efficiency measures again reduced opex. Investment activity surged during the quarter, as EUR70m in NPL portfolio acquisitions (the highest since Q4 2022) contributed to another increase in the portfolio gross IRR. Since 2021, the gross IRR has risen from 15.7% to 18.9%. We have tweaked our 2025-2026e EPS after the report, and reiterate our HOLD and NOK4.3 target price.
